One PGC workshop has already been held this year. The RED team is happy to convene another one later this semester, if there is sufficient demand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I always have to get all my supervisors to sign my annual review?.
Yes, ALL the supervisors listed on your supervisory panel are required to confirm that they are in agreement with the assessment of progress detailed in your annual review. Faxed signatures from supervisor(s) will be accepted where it is difficult for an original signature to be obtained. (eg: your supervisor is overseas)
